Stockton Distinguished Scholar, U.S. Naval War College; Professor of Law, University of Reading; G. Norman Lieber Distinguished Schol- ar, U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Workshop participants, some of whom collabo- rated in the drafting of the scenario, situations, and analysis, included Laurie Blank, John Cherry, Kevin Coble, Peter Combe, Matthew Grant, Jon Griffiths, Eric Jensen, Guy Kiernan, James Kraska, Duco Le Clercq, Peter Marguiles, Daphne Richemond-Barak, Mi- chael Rizzotti, Eran Shamir-Borer, and John Tramazzo. The analysis reflects the project director's sense of the group's general approach to the issues the situations posed. Individual participants, including the project director, did not necessarily agree with every approach or conclusion. The thoughts and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of any government, armed force, the U.S. Department of the Navy, or the U.S. Naval War College. 1 Vol. 1 03
